I'm a Christian. I see my nation spreading evil in the world instead of decency. That it's happening, is plain for anyone with eyes to see. Your statement above tells me you see it to. It saddens me to see this as I'm sure it does you. Ignoring facts won't make them go away. If you really love your country and wish to see her return to a force for good, voicing your objection to continuing mistakes works to that end.
Putin, Assad and Iran have all committed evil deeds. Putin it seems, at least, has had a change of heart. I've read Mr. Putin has turned to God. Apostle Paul turned from evil to God. Can not the Almighty still performs such miracles in men's hearts? Certainly Putin's actions to save the Christians as well as others in the M.E. indicates a desire to do good, even if it coincides with other motives he might have in the interest of his nation. Shall we allow rape, torture, beheading, and the slaughter, something our country help to bring about, continue because we fear he might gain an advantage for his nation?
You would actually have this evil continue and spread further across this region of the world so that you may enjoy the knowledge your country held Putin/Russia to the 50 yard line, if I may. Really? Is this just a game where we completely ignore a rash of personal fouls in our zeal to win by any means necessary? Then let's have a big hurrah! in the face of the young boy who had his fingers chopped off before being crucified in front of his father, who wouldn't convert from Christianity to Islam this week.
Your fellow countrymen here, speak out against this kind of evil and feel proud for someone who is actually doing something to try to stop it. For that, you lump us in with past evil and current evil (i.e. Iran). So who/what is it you really love?
We're never going to become good again if we continue to do wrong. Waving a banner and living in the past, and with blinders on, isn't going to change the future. Not supporting those who are trying to do good - IS wrong my FRiend. If this post doesn't get that across to you, then nothing ever will.

Putin has stolen $40 billion from the Russian people, built huge mansions for himself and he has murdered thousands to advance his political goals.
Sorry, he’s about as far from a Christian Apostle as you can get.
